Bio
Kağan Bağ
I worked by reporting the first years of my profession to Mr. Melih. Even at the interview stage, he was a reassuring and charming person with his professional stance. At the end of the 2 years I spent under his leadership, I turned into an international sales professional who understands the global world better and looks at issues in a different way thanks to his mindset and his teachings. He is a true leader and role model, with his ability to manage complexity in the easiest ways possible.
